Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Cascaded full order terminal sliding mode controller for uncertain photovoltaic systems   Order a copy of this article
    by Fateh Attoui, Fayçal Arbaoui, Mohammed Larbi Saidi, Nadir Fergani, Nadir Boutasseta 
    Abstract: In this paper, an advanced cascaded full order terminal sliding mode controller (C-FOTSMC) is proposed and applied to an uncertain photovoltaic system. As parameter uncertainty is a significant concern resulting from power converters component aging, the design of a robust controller capable of handling such conditions has a direct impact on the stability and performance of the power conversion stage in renewable energy generation systems. A succession of a first-degree FO-TSMC voltage regulator and a conventional SMC current controller are used in a cascaded scheme in order to track reference voltage changes in the case of a PV system with nominal parameters and in the case of the presence of parameters uncertainties. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated and compared with that of the classical cascaded PI controller, the cascaded conventional SMC (C-SMC), and the recent simplified parameter-less (PSc) controller. This comparison is based on several performance indices and covers various scenarios involving parametric uncertainties as well as different operating regions. The results demonstrate that the proposed controller achieves a significant reduction in chattering, thereby improving system stability and yielding a faster and smoother dynamic response.

  • An S3LAM and NFPFLU-RESNET50-based adaptive motion planning of order picking and placing using robotics industry automation   Order a copy of this article
    by Basava Ramanjaneyulu Gudivaka, Rajya Lakshmi Gudivaka, Raj Kumar Gudivaka, Dinesh Kumar Reddy Basan, Sri Harsha Grandhi, M.M. Kamruzzaman 
    Abstract: The automatic order picking and placing (OPP) system using robots has improved the entire supply chain in various industries. None of the prevailing works considered adaptive motion planning for OPP. Therefore, this work proposes the spectral stellar simultaneous localisation and mapping (S3LAM) based path selection for effective OPP. Initially, the workspace images are captured and pre-processed. Then, the objects are detected, and the present text is extracted. Meanwhile, the command data are collected and pre-processed. Next, the keywords are extracted, and the similarities between the texts are analysed. The features are extracted from the object-detected image. Then, the features, similarity score, and keywords are given to the Nebula faster power function linear unit residual-network-50 (NFPFLU-RESNET50) classifier to predict the objects. Next, the bounding box coordinates are extracted, and the grasping pose is detected using the fractal harmonic kinematics grasp pose detection (FHK-GPD) technique.
